Ep 205- Chris Miltenberg: Coaching Excellence in a Noisy World
<p>Sometimes you finish a conversation and just sit with it for a while.That was this one with Coach Chris Miltenberg.Chris is one of the most respected coaches in American distance running - currently at UNC, with previous stops at Stanford and Georgetown - but what stood out most in this chat wasn't just the results, the Olympians, or the NCAA success. It was the depth of thought behind how he coaches people.We spoke about what keeps the fire burning after more than 20 years in the college system, why curiosity matters more than ever, and how coaching today is about so much more than workouts, splits, and physiology. Chris opened up about the importance of controlling the narrative, building trust, reducing "energy bleed," and helping athletes stay focused in a world full of noise, comparison, and distraction. There is so much gold in this episode for runners, coaches, parents, and anyone trying to pursue excellence over the long term.We get into:why the best athletes still just want to be coachedhow routines and "living your life like a clock" can change performancewhat great coaches really do beyond the X's and O'show to hold high standards without breaking peoplewhat modern athletes are up against mentally and emotionallywhy consistency in life leads to consistency in training - and eventually racingand how legacy is built not through ego, but through showing up and helping people get better every dayChris also shares honest thoughts on the current NCAA landscape, the challenges facing young athletes, and why he still feels excited to build, learn, and evolve.This one is packed with wisdom. If you're a coach trying to guide athletes well, or a runner trying to stay sharp, grounded, and focused in a noisy world, I think you'll get a lot from this conversation.Listen now to my chat with Coach Chris Miltenberg on the Run Culture Podcast. </p><p><br></p>

Ep 203 - The Other 22 Hours: The Real Secret Behind Faster Running (with Dr. Marc Bubbs)
<p>A few years ago, US run coach; Brad Hudson told me to read 'Peak' by Dr. Marc Bubbs - and it genuinely changed how I think about performance.</p><p>So it was pretty special to finally sit down with Marc.</p><p>For those who don’t know him - Dr. Bubbs is a performance nutritionist who’s worked with Olympic athletes and pro teams (including Canadian Olympic programs), and he’s spent years in high performance sport figuring out what actually moves the needle.</p><p>We got into the stuff that matters:– why your training session isn’t the main event… it’s the other 22 hours.</p><p>– how sleep, nutrition and life stress quietly drive performance (or hold it back).</p><p>– why most runners are either overthinking or under-fuelling.</p><p>– and how the best athletes just keep nailing the basics, over and over again.</p><p>No gimmicks here. Just really solid thinking that’ll probably make you reflect on what you’re doing day to day.</p><p>If you’re chasing improvement — or just feel a bit stuck — I think you’ll get a lot out of it. </p><p>Have a listen.</p><p>You can find more from Dr Marc Bubbs at <a href="http://www.drbubbs.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.drbubbs.com</a>, his podcast: The Performance Nutrition Podcast, or on Instagram and YouTube.</p>

Ep 202- 'High Risk at the Right Time': Inside the Top End of Distance Running with Nike Professional Coach Alex Ostberg
<p><strong>Have you ever been curious what actually happens at the top end of the sport?This week I sat down with Alex Ostberg - professional assistant coach at Nike Swoosh Track Club in Eugene under Jerry Schumacher - fresh off Charlie Hicks’ phenomenal 2:04:35 at the Boston Marathon, one of the fastest American performances we’ve seen..... to be honest… it’s not what most people think.It’s not reckless - but it’s definitely not always, 'lets play it safe' either. It’s high risk, taken at the right time. Years of consistency, massive aerobic bases, fundamentals done properly… and then when it’s there - they lean in. Not stupidly, just enough. We get into what elite athletes are actually like - the habits, the mindset, the monotony, the discipline - and why the best in the world are usually just the best at doing the basics over and over again. No secret sauce. Just timing, patience, and getting the most out of the fitness they’ve built.Alex also shares how he sees coaching at that level - like a GPS. The athlete’s driving, he’s just guiding. Knowing when to push, when to pull back, and protecting the one thing that matters most… consistency. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to get to that level - this one will hit.Full episode now live on the Run Culture Podcast.If you’re keen to hear more from Alex Ostberg, check out his Substack newsletter The Rundown or listen to him on The Running Effect Podcast.</p>
